LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF POINT-OF-LAY BIRDS TO FROZEN CHICKEN PRODUCTION IN A TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT

The study examined four scenarios for reduction of environmental impacts with use of 100 % purchased electricity in all processing activities as first scenario while second scenario was the use of 100 % electricity from diesel generators. Third and fourth scenarios were to use 50 % each of both pur...
